lets get the children to not buy junk food
make them buy junk cards instead the problem with yu-gi-oh is in your statement: a "good" yu-gi-oh deck costs a ton of money; then it becomes entirely irrelevant in like 2 sets. not to mention the ever fluctuating ban list. I used to have a bomb remove-from-play deck. Then they banned DMoC and a couple other of my core cards and poof: no more deck. Same with psychics, archfiends and every other archetype I've used. meanwhile my friends 6 samurai deck is fucking unstoppable and nothing is being done about it.
TLR Yu-gi-oh broke a long time ago and no one bothered fixing it

Shit's fucking nuts now. It's either get out the equivalent of a 20 turn gimmick deck's best possible outcome on the first turn or get slammed by the same by the second or third. They unbanned fucking Raigeki and one of the staple cards is a mass board wipe. That's got to say something.

its funny, when the lightsworn deck was its most popular I topped a regional with a relinquished deck using the new djinns that came out.

relinquished that stopped your special summons and had a 3k JD attached to it was the end of most LS decks. Dark Hole was banned at the time and no LS mained or sided lightning vortex because "why bother? I got JD"

>One of the races is a synthetic race of fish men created by the sangheili to be slaves
>one of the villains works for the big bad is a saiyan that trained 3 of these fish men as his apprentices

>group gets jumped by bad guys. One of the fish apprentices and a warforged psychic warrior
>Fishman is wearing a mask that allows him to breathe on land and disguise himself as a human. Mask makes him look like Bane
>Bane is kicking their ass.
>combat based party members are down and slowly getting heals
>Only bard is left, healer is occupied

Turns out Unnatural Lust is a legit spell. If you fail your saving throw you spend your next turn kissing the caster
>Bane fails the save
>Table laughs
>I laugh harder
Me: You have NO IDEA what you just did!
Bard: Confused
>To the shocked horror of the table
Me: Bane afterimages to you, his eyes full of desire. He pulls you into a deep embrace, removes his mast and transforms...
Bard: WHAT?!
Me: What was once the firm embrace of a man suddenly turns into the slimy and sticky sensation of fish scales and excretion. He holds you tighter and pulls you into a deep, powerful, sloppy kiss
Table: *silent*
>Round goes by, fighters are up again
Healer: So...after Bane is done kissing Wanko, what's he do?
Me: The fish-man pulls back with a string of passionate saliva trailing with him. He puts his mask back on. The fighter is clearly embarrassed and slaps you with a single strong open palm strike
>Bane's face when

Recently got d&d (5th edition) books, working on a character design.
Druid half-orc sounds fun with circle of the moon. At level 2 you can become a 32 hp bear shield. Twice.
Anyway, I can't seem to find anything about the animal companions you mentioned. Did they remove that for e?

up to you. i gotta get going to work soon, but i would love some designs done, if you wouldn't mind. i've been trying to get them done forever, but my wife (the artist) never finds motivation to do it >.>
